"Pikmin meets Hell"

The 360 Demo is ready for Download today, I gotta say, this is a badass evil lil game...It's a sweet lil Pikmin clone.

You take the role of the Overlord himself, your minions do almost everything for you, and you have to get rid of the corrupted 7 kings, each a victim of the 7 deadly sins...

Host hordes of Minions (over 20 and more..)....and the beauty of the game...is you can be semi-evil or pure ****in' evil....there's no way to be good what so ever...

Even get a mistress to control your kingdom...depending on how well you treat her, effects the kingdom as well.

Gain power, respect, gold, and steal anything your evil heart desires...

Graphically, it reminds me of Fable alot and the soundtrack is tight.

Comes out June 26th I hear. It's also on PC

I can't wait to try the demo(which is now currently downloading thanks to this thread)

I have been watching info about the game but I am still not sure what to think about the game it seems like it could be a lot of watching and very little doing.

Tried the demo out and was fairly impressed with it. Graphicaly the envirnments are nice however character models seem a bit lacking. Like the topic creatort said its like pikmin meets hell. You controls the minions entirely with the right stick which may be either good or bad its hard to say. The overlord himself seems very minor in his roles in the game compared to the minion (one attack is on the A button) however in the demo you gain a fire spell casted with X (you can set feilds on fire)

I havent looked into the game much at all before this demo but now I am pretty interested. Definitly a rental for me.

I wasn't thrilled with the necessity to randomly kill innocent animals, but burning hobbit "half lings" in the fields was strangely gratifying. The jury is still out on this one. I've never been able to fully enjoy games with an "evil" protagonist.

Your character looks earily like Sauron form Middle-Earth. Now since the halflings are essentially hobbits I'm feeling this to be a bit more funny...

Your tutor is like a demented Yoda also...

Game looks good and seems to be a little bit of mindless fun...with some humor...
